About us

A local team doing a job that matters.

Bin Buddies was built in Northumberland to solve a real problem for real landlords. We're not a national contractor we're a local team that knows the area and cares about getting it right.

Our story

Built to solve a problem no one else was solving

I started Bin Buddies because I saw the same problem again and again holiday let owners getting negative reviews not because their property was bad but because a bin was overflowing or bottles were left out from the previous guests. It was a simple operational failure that was costing landlords real money in reputation and rebooking rates.

The frustrating thing was there was no obvious solution. General waste companies weren’t interested in the specifics of holiday let turnovers. So we built the service that should have existed timed to changeover days, responsive to booking calendars and covering everything from bin pull-outs to full clearances.
We’re now the go-to waste management partner for holiday let owners and HMO landlords across Northumberland and NE England. Everything is properly licensed and documented because your Duty of Care matters and so does ours.

What we stand for

How we work

Three things that drive every job we do.

Compliance first

We're fully licensed and every collection is documented. Your Duty of Care is covered and so is ours. No shortcuts.

Genuinely local

We're based in Seahouses and we serve Northumberland. We know the roads, the councils and the properties. You're not a postcode on a national database.

Fixed and reliable

We quote a fixed price and stick to it. We show up when we say we will. If something changes we tell you we don't just not turn up.
